woodyuk Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 HiI have started using uPNP on my router rather than hardcoding the external ports. The reason behind this is that my router often just gets choked up and need to reboot often (which gives me new external IP) and so not getting inbound floods. I thought I could use uPNP and utorrent so that each time I start utorrent it uses a different port and then opens up that port on my router. However it does NOT close ones it has opened before, so my internet had gone to a slooooow mo - I just looked and found 12 port mappings had been create and my logs said I was being flooded. A router reboot, clear up ports and internet is back to normal.Should utorent not clean up ports it is no longer using if it has opened them before ?

Firon Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Could just be a bug on the Belkin. Lots of problems with Belkin routers. That, or you're not exiting µT properly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyuk Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 What router do you think is best ? I had a DrayTek before which was amazing but expensive however it died. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
